Manual Timed Account Lockout — ATAS X
Feature Request: Manual Timed Account Lockout — ATAS X
I would like to request an enhancement to ATAS X's existing Lock Trading and Risk Management features.
Currently, Lock Trading can be immediately reversed. I would like an optional manual lockout that prevents me from opening new positions for a chosen period, regardless of profit, loss, or trade count.
Requested features:
Selectable lockout durations: 1, 2, 3, 4, 6, 8, 12, or 24 hours.
Custom duration in minutes or hours.
Option to lock trading until the next trading session or a configured daily reset time.
Lock individual accounts or all connected accounts simultaneously.
Once activated, the lockout cannot be canceled or shortened.
Prevent new positions and increases to existing positions, while allowing reductions and exits.
Preserve the lockout through ATAS restarts and account reconnections.
Display a countdown showing when trading will be available again.
Support hotkeys and Stream Deck activation.
Optional confirmation before activation to prevent accidental lockouts.
Ideally, the lockout would be enforced at the account or order-management level, rather than simply disabling chart controls.
This would be particularly useful for discretionary traders who want to enforce a cooling-off period after a difficult trading session or stop trading for the remainder of the day without relying on daily profit or loss limits.
The goal is to make the decision to stop trading binding for the selected duration, without requiring a third-party risk-management application.
